All name calling aside , why cant he just pay for the renovations himself. Of all the monster truck shows , concerts , and other events the revenue will be there. These other events will make up for the lagging Dolphin attendance. Why add any new tax even if it a tourist tax. Put your feelings for the Dolphins aside. Schools are broke , housing is still down while unemployment is still up. People are just still plain hurting. If he is on a PR tour , let him step up.

I agree with you completely. Ross should pay for his private company renovations. I'm not going to bash him for going on a PR tour. That's his job. Businessmen make most money when they're not spending theirs. If he can lobby and persuade others throughout the community more power to him.

Points well taken. Let him lobby & persuade other business people who can afford it. Sort of like the 1% minority celebrity ownership thing. People here are hurting & have just been fleeced in the past with stadium & arena deals. His timing is poor (no pun intended). How much can we be bleeded.

The grudge Tony Sparano held after the Dolphins’ surreptitious courting of Jim Harbaugh in early 2011 “damaged the whole organization,” owner Stephen Ross said on Dan Le Batard’s show on 790 The Ticket on Friday afternoon.

Appearing as a guest to talk about the future of Sun Life Stadium, Ross instead revisited the Dolphins’ recent past.

He spoke in detail about the fractious relationship between Sparano and Ross and Jeff Ireland.

...

“He could never put it behind him,” Ross said. “I don’t think he was the right head coach for the Miami Dolphins. I didn’t hire him. We’re a much better organization today than then.”

...

• “This organization is functioning the best since the [ Don] Shula days, [because] I picked the head coach with Jeff Ireland. People see this organization is really on the uptick.”
